Is it awkward that a believer enjoys reading Richard Dawkins?

Question

I believe in God. But I love Richard Dawkins's, an atheist author, writing and his theories. A friend told me it's awkward. What do you think?

Answer 1

Yeah, his loads of nonsense are pretty amusing

Answer 2

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm a believer as well, and I don't think you can really believe without having those beliefs tested and challenged. I enjoy reading Dawkins and works like his so that I can improve myself and make my faith stronger.

I think it's an excellent idea and every believer should do it.
